Kwila is a beautiful wood to use! Just because it is usually cut as decking, does not mean it can’t be used in different ways.

1. Fences and Gates

Try using it for a fence or gate. It will look great matching your deck!

2. Privacy Screen

Similar to the fence you can create a beautiful privacy screen for any outdoor entertainment areas facing the street. Try growing an evergreen climber up the side for a contrast to the wood.

3. Deck for a Pool

Use Kwila to build a deck surrounding your pool. The colour of the wood contrasts well with the bright blue of the pool.

5. A Boxed Garden

Do you have animals that terrorize your garden? A raised or boxed garden will keep your plants safe, while also making a feature of the wooden sides and edges.

6. A Boardwalk or Path

If you’re working with a larger garden, try using Kwila to create a path leading visitors to a covered BBQ area or pond. You could also sink Kwila into grass to create an eye-catching path to your front door.
